Indesign can take a long time to print your file, particularly if you have complex and large image files embedded in your document.

Speed up Indesign printing
Well, be careful as Preview doesn't handle things like transparencies correctly.
Speed up Indesign printing
This shoud only be used for drafts - there are several issues here. For starters, CMYK, pantone, RGB handling differ on embedded files through preview, and default settings in preview will resize the PDF page when printing. Those are both frustrations that I've come accross when using this quicker method. Also, transparencies, as mentioned by another commenter, especially misbehave within EPS files. I've also experienced Font issues.
Speed up Indesign printing
*Do Not* print from Preview. Use Adobe Acrobat (or Reader) instead. Use the High Quality Print preset combined with Acrobat/Reader and you'll get pretty reasonable results more quickly. No, I have just about given up on using Preview for PDF files. It displays transparent areas with a slightly darker box surrounding the object, and it completely misses some gradients. |
